Actually it is a 500kt threshold.

Someone listed the warheads the sovs had in 1989 and there were surprisingly few that were strategic and below that threshold. IIRC only two platforms had versions had sub 500kt options and the max estimated warhead count was still well below 200.

Anything could have happened between 1989 (the USSR peak warhead count) and our fake 1997, but given those numbers I always assumed that the non listed strikes would not outnumber the listed ones (as there were thousands of Strategic 500kt+ warheads).
